who’s in charge?

Worry leads to more worry. It’s

a bit like one of those old sci-fi

movies, where a blob from outer

space wanders around gobbling

up towns, getting bigger and big-

ger as it goes. Feeding the blob

just makes a bigger blob. It’s not

a good option. The only good

option is to stop it.

And if you’re in the grip of worries,

that’s what you need to do, too.

It may look impossible. It may

feel impossible. But it’s not.

Make the decision.

Tell yourself, “I’m not going to let

worry run my life.” You’ll begin

to feel a bit better the moment

you promise yourself to stand up

and fight.

Start pushing back.

Once you’re aware of how worry

works, you can push back against it.

Every time you refuse to let a worry

dictate what you do, it loses some

of its power.
